Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Resp Chandrashekhar Ji, Thanx for giving the idea of some astronomical resaons behind the theory of exlatation and debilitation, I could also never accept the stories which are cooked up in the internet version of astrology like the one u urself stated - " saying that a king gets strong in house of the army general to explain Sun's getting exaltation in Aries to every other flight of imagination " These stories looks baseless. Pls. let us know more and also tell what is the signification of Saturn's exlatation/debilitation in 9'th house, on the Guru's natural seat. regards, Lalit.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Dear Lalit, Thank you for understanding me. There are two dimensions to the stories. If they are given to illustrate some astrological or astronomical point, there is no harm in them. The problem only arises when they represent only flights of imagination,more than illustrating some principle. As to Saturn getting exalted in natural seat of Guru. That is Sagittarius. It does not get either exalted or debilitated there. It is exalted in Libra and gets debilitated in Aries. But Saturn in the natural seat of Guru in a chart that is the 9th bhava and unaspected by any planet does indicate Pravrajya yoga, if memory serves me right. Take care, Chandrashekhar. litsol wrote: Resp Chandrashekhar Ji, Thanx for giving the idea of some astronomical resaons behind the theory of exlatation and debilitation, I could also never accept the stories which are cooked up in the internet version of astrology like the one u urself stated - "saying that a king gets strong in house of the army general to explain Sun's getting exaltation in Aries to every other flight of imagination" These stories looks baseless.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Dear Lalit, In case of Makara Lagna, 9th bhava is Virgo rasi and Saturn does not get exalted there. If you are thinking about Kumbha lagna then of course Saturn gets exalted in its 9th bhava which happens to be Libra. In that case first it is good to remember that when a Malefic is lord of a kendra ( which Lagna is) it does not give malefic results or rather its malfeasance is toned down in its dasha. As to your question: 1) Lagna lord being lord of a Kendra occupying a Trikona causes raj yoga. Being lagna and 12th lord it could also indicate that the jataka creates his own bhagya (is extremely hardworking perhaps) and there could be some problems to the father. 2) Saturn though malefic is least harmful when it is strong and here it is in exaltation and occupying a Trine, so it is extremely powerful and will cause the least of problems. Its aspect on the 3rd will also make the person quite valorous, and though its aspect on the 6th could give some breathing troubles, it will also indicate that the Jataka will overcome his enemies. Additionally it is good to remember that Saturn in the 9th, if unaspected could also lead to Pravrajya yoga. Take care, Chandrashekhar. litsol wrote: Dear Sir, I wanted to understand the saturn's exaltation in the 9'th house for the Makara Lagna. How saturn will behave in this case, will it bring pravajya instincts, I want to how we can understand this case there are 2 things - 1. lagna lord is placed in 9'th and exalted 2. this is a malific. pls. help me to grasp the logic, same is, if saturn is debilated in 9'th house then what will happe to native's bhagya and dharma. regards, Lalit.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Dear Lalit, Pravrajya refers to taking sanyas. Or rather renunciating the world and roaming, not stopping at one place for any length of time so as not to develop attachments, if we want to take the literal meaning. Even this day there are many sages that travel for 8 months and only stay at one place during Chaturmasa when they do sadhana at one place. Take care, Chandrashekhar. litsol wrote: Dear Sir, Thanx for the favor, I want to understand the Pravrajya yoga, what is this yoga, does it mean a person is self centered or does it mean he will relenquish the world to become a saintly person, I have not seen this happening always. regards, Lalit.
